Before 1748, Garrett Johnson first owned and operated a ferry at this site. On the night Washington crossed the Delaware, December 25, 1776, it was used to transport artillery from Pennsylvania to New Jersey and was operated at that time by James Slack. The ferry here is a full-scale authentic reproduction of the type seen on the Delaware River in the 18th century.
